...you really are showing your ignorance. "When" you registered here means nothing. In fact, using "you just registered today" is actually a very UN-democratic thing to do. A true citizen of the democracy realizes that every voice is equally important, regardless of "when they registered." In fact, if some of these attitudes translated into the political process, you'd be turned away because you "didn't register Democrat" long enough ago. Some of us who are mad right now have been Dems for 20, 30, 40 years. We were voting for Democrats when you were in diapers (or before). Some of us voted for the first Clinton... the FIRST time. Some even voted for JFK (who Obama once resembled).
So please, by all means, point out that new registrants are some of the maddest (ignoring those who registered here months ago, well before FISA, who have also expressed their sense of betrayal). Continue to dismiss the comments of posters here because they aven't been registered "long enough." In short, feel free to engage in tactics often employed by Republicans who wish to try and silence dissenting voices. The bottom line is that you'll lose.
Some of us have been Dems for so long that your registration date on the site is a flash in the pan. We welcomed you to the prty and didn't really make much of a fuss when you got suckered in by Obama's pretty rhetoric. We rolled our eyes, but certainly didn't dismiss you when you failed to heed our admonitions regarding "experience" and "proven voting record." We even went so far as to say "I hope you're right. I really do."
In short, your comments about when we registered are of such little consequence that I almost feel silly writing this. On the other hand, you need to realize that this is not YOUR party, or even YOUR candidate. It (he) is OURS. And whether you like it or not, we will say what we want, when we want, HOW we want. In that sense, your registration date here is worth about as much as the paper it was printed-- oh wait, it wasn't even on paper, was it...?
'nuff said.
